After Zhao Qingqing saw off He Linwan and Yuan Xiang, he glanced back at the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

The window of one of the private rooms was ajar, and the wind made the windows creak back and forth, and there was no figure in sight behind the window.

Zhao Qingqing returned to the second floor, she pushed open the door of the private room that was ajar just now, and saw the man sitting by the window.

The man was dressed in a black robe, his face was covered with a silver-white mask, and he sat upright, like a lonely pine tree growing on a cliff, which had experienced countless winds, frosts, snow and rain, and still grew in place without wavering.

Zhao Qingqing walked up to the black-robed man and looked at him for a long time before saying, "I really didn't see her yet?"

"The Tao is different, not the same. The man said in a cold tone.

Zhao Qingqing sneered when he heard this, and reached out to remove the mask on the man's face, and the man raised his hand to block it, leaning back to avoid it. Zhao Qingqing took advantage of the fact that he was guarding against taking off his mask, and tore open the man's collar with lightning speed.

A small section of the skin under the man's neck was exposed, and on closer inspection, it was no longer called human skin, covered with a thin layer of silvery-white scales, like snake scales.

"If you hadn't made yourself look like a ghost or a ghost, I would have really believed your nonsense!" Zhao Qingqing said angrily.

The man was silent and buttoned up his shirt.

Zhao Qingqing saw that he couldn't hit a fart with a stick, and he was even more angry.

"What do you mean by you? You are here for her, does she know? Do you appreciate it? She doesn't know anything, but you want to put your life into it!" Zhao Qingqing couldn't help but choke up in his voice when he said this.

The man got up and walked in front of Zhao Qingqing, hesitated, raised his hand and touched her hair, "Don't be sad." ”

Zhao Qingqing slapped his hand away and cried: "What am I sad about? I am not sad! I just think you are stupid! Why is other people's lives worth more than yours, why? Are human lives divided into three, six, nine and so on?"

The man sighed and held Zhao Qingqing in his arms a little awkwardly.

He was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "If I die, I will die, and if someone dies, some people will be sad and sad for him." Even if human life is not divided into three, six, nine, and so on, people's hearts are also divided. ”

When Zhao Qingqing heard this, he was so angry that he slapped him hard, "Zhao Yingchuan, you idiot!"

Zhao Qingqing quickly cleaned up her emotions, pushed Zhao Yingchuan away, wiped away her tears and asked calmly, "How long can you live?"

Zhao Yingchuan lowered his eyes and said: "The medicine given to me by the abbot of the round mirror can inhibit Gu poison, and it will not be a problem to live for two or three years." ”

Zhao Qingqing sneered: "Don't they have to spend their efforts to protect your life for the past few years, after all, the new 'Your Highness' hasn't come out yet! Fortunately, the Gu poison of the Spirit Snake Gu makes your bloodline poisonous and not suitable for giving birth to heirs, otherwise you may only be lying in bed every day waiting for a different woman!"

Zhao Yingchuan pursed his lips when he heard this, "I'm sorry, because of me, your situation is even more difficult." I didn't expect them to force you to have children. ”

The corners of Zhao Qingqing's mouth raised a sharp angle, and he said coldly: "Hmph! I'm not our father! If they force me to be in a hurry, it's a big deal to die and the net will be broken!"

"Qingqing, before I die, I will help you get out of this cage and let you live the life you want. The taciturn man said solemnly to his sister.

Zhao Qingqing replied to him with a roll of his eyes without appreciation, "Take care of yourself!"

......

Soon it was the day of Wei's birthday feast.

Since the birthday banquet was in the evening, they would go to the Wei Mansion in the afternoon. After He Linwan got dressed, she went to Mu'en Courtyard to wait for Wei to go out, she came a little earlier, He Ling and a few people hadn't come yet, but when she entered the courtyard, she found that several people who were waiting for her, including Mama Wang, were waiting in the courtyard, and the door of the main room was closed.

He Linwan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Grandmother didn't wake up from her nap?"

Mama Wang replied: "Uncle came back just now and said that he wanted to discuss some things with his wife, so he sent us out. ”

"Grandfather, is he also going to Wei Mansion with us this time to celebrate his birthday?" asked He Linwan.

Mama Wang said: "The Wei Mansion also sent an invitation to the uncle, and the uncle will return to the house at this time, presumably to go to the banquet with his wife." A few young masters will be with the uncle later. ”

He Linwan nodded, and stood under the porch with Mama Wang and waited.

Mama Wang saw that He Linwan was wearing a lake-blue embroidered magnolia skirt with a delicate pearl head, this outfit looked elegant and aura, and the set of sapphire jewelry that Wei gave her was the finishing touch, which embellished He Linwan's whole person with a particularly radiant appearance.

"The eldest girl's body was personally selected by Madame, and she is really good-looking!" Mama Wang praised with a smile.

Chunxiao whispered on the side: "The slave maid thought before, if the eldest girl went to the birthday banquet, the clothes would be too plain, after all, some old ladies like red and look festive." But Mama said that it was personally selected by Mrs., and the slave and maid could rest assured!"

Mama Wang waved her hand and said: "Mrs. Wei and several old ladies who are good friends are all elegant things, and she is happy to look at such a simple and refreshing dress." ”

He Linwan was about to speak, but he heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground in the main room.

Mama Wang's face changed after hearing this.

He Chuanwu's voice came faintly through the south window, and He Linwan heard "granddaughter", "concubine",

Words like "family affairs".

Compared with He Chuanwu's suddenly raised voice, Wei's voice was much more indifferent, so He Linwan didn't hear Wei's reply.

Mama Wang was afraid that something would happen inside, so she walked to the door curtain, hesitating whether to go in, and as soon as she opened the curtain, He Chuanwu's voice came out clearly.

"I gave you face to the Wei family, how could you ever give me face! Wei family, don't deceive people too much!"

Mama Wang was so frightened that her hands shook, and the curtain fell again.

At this time, He Linwan also walked to the door, so he heard Wei's calm and calm voice, "Uncle is angry, and his body is important." Since you are going to let me arrange her family affairs, I will listen to you. But I'm going to talk about it in the first place, and when the time comes, I'll make arrangements, and they're not satisfied with making a fuss, so don't blame me. ”

He Chuanwu saw that Wei was soft, and his tone was a little better, "Even if you make arrangements, as long as the door is right, who dares to make trouble! Don't find some broken houses to perfunctory!"

Wei Shi seemed to laugh when he heard this, "Uncle said that he was joking, where did I find her a broken house?" But if you are not at ease, I will pick a few more candidates, and you will choose when the time comes." You've picked out the right people, right?"

The uncle thought about it, and felt that this would be foolproof, and his attitude softened, "That's it! ”
